God bless the kickers the dear
old kickers-God bless them, every
one For they'll kick when you're
sober and in for work and kick
when you're IN for fun They'll
buck at improvements in real estate
they'll buck at booming the
town-and at everything thatll
work for good some kicker will
irown frown {. If this thing or
that is thought to be good some
other they'll say will be better !;
and if one could write them up as
"mass" they'd knock of that
superhuous letter When these self
same kickers arrive at the gates
the pearly gates Of heaven-they'll
kick if offered n nice small crown
and pick out big number 'leven.
On earth, in heaven, at home, on
the street, there are men who are
bound to kick; until, we declare,
there's no peace anywhere-'tis
enough to make a man sick So
out on those kickers, those chronic
old kickers-that blight that is
thrust on a town-and when they
kick with their mulish ways-for
heavens sake, frOwn them down !!

CIipuIng Fowls Wings.

A poultry raiser informs us that
when he cuts a chickens wings he
gets some one to hold the bird, and
he takes the wing and stretches it
out, and with a sharp knife, COM
mences near the body, leaving three
or four of the quill feathers next
the body without cutting, and cuts
all the rest except three or four at
the tip end. That will take the
wind out of their sales and prevent
flying. The feathers left at the tip
of the wing enables the hen to keep
her eggs in place if you let her sit,
and when the wing is shut up 1t
does not disfgure her.

A COMPETITIVE POEM READ AND
OBJECTED To-OBJECTION OVER
RULED.

Waydown Bebee, chairman Of
the summer poetry committee, re-
portea that he bad received seven
ty.six competitive poems up to
date, and that he noticed a marked
Improvement in style and senti.
ment over last year. The prizes
would be awarded some time in
September. The following, written
by old Pete Whiteheld, of the
Florence hotel, Birmingham, Ala,
was handed to the secretary to be
read and filed:
The FATE or THE CHICKEN.
On roost a chicken sat,
Come along-come along;
lie was yeung and very fat
Sing a song-sing song.
Oh, you chicken hey a care,
Fur Josephus draweth near.
Up the alley crept a coon
Crept along-crept along
BY de light Of harvest moon,
Dinga-dong-ding-a-dong.
Oh You chicken doan' you know
Why dat darky cree peth so
Now Josephus glideth in,
um-a-hum-hum-a-hum;
Now he rubs dat chickens shin,
Dum-a.rum-rum-a-dum
Now dat chickens in a bag
Limp and dead as any rag.
Elder PenstOck arose to object.
Time was when the colOred man of
this country might be connected
with the chicken, but that day had
long since gone by. He looked
upon the poem as an insult leveled
at the colored race. Why should a
cOlored man be represented as steal
ing up the alley any more than a
white man? And, above all, what
member of the Lime Kiln club could
sic still under the title of "cOOn?'
He would move that the poem be
scornfully rejected.
Samuel Shin supported the mo-
ton. 1t made his blood boil TO be
thus openly insuIted in his own
house, as it were.
